Abstract
Bullying is a type of interpersonal violence that is negatively impacting youth around the world. Bullying can occur in various environments, although researchers tend to focus on bullying that takes place at school or online. Fortunately, the literature on bullying behavior has expanded dramatically within the past 20 years. It is important to broaden current understandings of the impacts and risk factors associated with bullying in order to create more effective prevention and intervention programs. The more knowledge that is gained regarding this phenomenon, the more accurate professionals can be in identifying appropriate populations for bullying prevention. Bullying can be traumatic and have a detrimental impact on adolescents’ development (Idsoe et al. 2012). Future research may inform professionals on what might lessen the negative impact that past bullying has on youth. Taken together, it is important to gain more knowledge and disseminate research findings in order to benefit the youth worldwide that have been impacted by bullying. This chapter provides an overview of bullying including prevalence, gender differences, and theory that is used as a foundation for a substantial amount of the bullying literature. Other related issues such as trauma, risk factors, outcomes, relation to other forms of interpersonal violence, and prevention and intervention efforts are also discussed.
